Munich is truly one of the great cities in the country of Germany. The city has both a rich past and a prosperous future. Munich earned its name through the Benedictine monks that founded the city. Munich is one of the largest metropolitan areas in Germany and is the third largest city in the country. This sprawling city is filled with history on nearly every street and as it grows in size it grows in complexity. It is very nice to have the convenience of a car hire to drive around the city of Munich. A car hire Munich is not only the perfect way to experience the city, but may be a necessity if you intend to see all the city has to offer.
A great starting place is the center of the city. The Marienplatz is a large open square where the remnants of the Old Town Hall can be found intermixed with the New Town Hall. Take time while you are there to visit the Rathaus-Glockenspiel, a tower whose chimes play a story every day at 11:00. Continue out from the center of the city and see the Peterskirche. This is the oldest church in the inner city with its foundations being laid before Munich was even established. Now take a small break from your sightseeing and visit the Viktualienmarkt. This is the most popular open market in the city and here you can find everything from local wares to local traditional foods. It is a favorite place for the city’s restaurants to find fresh produce for their menu items. If you do not want to buy any of the food here, you can eat a meal at one of the restaurants to get a first hand taste of the market.
After replenishing your own tanks take your car hire over to see one of the symbols of regal Germany. The Nymphenburg Palace was once a summer residence for the rulers of Bavaria and is built in a Baroque style. Still the home of the Duke of Bavaria, the palace is now open to daily tours. The palace is surrounded by gardens including the stunning Botanischer Garten Munchen Nymphenburg. This botanical garden was the city’s first and adds to what is considered one of Europe’s most beautiful royal residences.
A cannot miss on your trip to Munich is a visit to the Hofbraushaus am Platzl, perhaps the most famous beer hall in the world. Park your car hire for this event and enjoy the most celebrated cultural festival in the city, Oktoberfest. Let the local food and beers flow as you join in on the celebration of this amazing and complex city, a real Bavarian gem.
